So you just bought a gun, you have your CHL, now what? On to the wild goose chase that is finding the right holster.

Some
questions to consider: What type of holster do you want? How do you
want to carry? Should you carry a back up magazine? Should you get both
an IWB and OWB Holster?
Don't worry, we've got your back!

Introducing the best Holster Package EVER- the Ultimate Carry Package.

While
most holsters on the market are made from inferior materials, our
holsters are made from .093" Boltaron/Kydex and fastened with the
highest quality hardware on the market: a combination of Melonite coated
chrome Molly steel and Black 316 INOX Stainless Steel hardware.
All
holsters and magazine carriers come with a Military Grade Adjustable
Rubber Retention System and a no hassle Lifetime Warranty.

Quality
and Warranty aside, our company focuses on what's important: a safe,
secure holster that does it's job effectively and for a lifetime. Our
holsters may not feature three layers of colored material and themed cut
out designs, but their function is superior to most others on the
market. Our main priority when making holsters is simple: Provide a
product that is better than anything else on the market.

This Package comes with:

1 Inside the Waistband IWB Holster for Concealed Carry1 Inside the Waistband IWB Mag Carrier for times when back may be needed3 IWB belt attachments: 1 clip, 1 j-hook and 1 set of Soft Loops

The
clip is the most common option for IWB Holsters. It's easy on/off and
secure for daily activities. The J-Hook is perfectly discreet, fitting
behind the belt and hooking up underneath. Soft loops are great for when
extra stability is needed. Our soft loops are made from a PVC coated
Nylon and fastened with a pull-the-dot snap.

the ability to adjust the ride height and cant angle.

Appendix Carry is becoming increasingly popular.
Five years ago, it seems that the carry position was frowned upon and
discouraged, carrying the stigma of shooting your junk off should your
trigger finger slip up. However, with practice and training you can
become confident enough with your draw stroke and brave the appendix
carry waters, as long as you have a great AIWB Holster.

There are so many options for Appendix Holsters
now a days, it's hard to choose which option is best for you. I highly
suggest going to your local gun shop to ask if you can try on different
holsters, just so you can determine which style/material you'll like.
That will help narrow down your search. Most shops will at least have
plastic, leather and nylon holsters. Depending on what your day to day
activities are, you may need more retention than what a
leather or nylon holster can offer you. If you're a cable guy, or work
in construction where bending and moving around is something you do all
day, you'll see right off the bat that you'll most likely need a plastic
holster with some sort of adjustable retention.

Once
you figure out the material and style of the holster you want, you can
start narrowing down companies who make that style. We make full Kydex, single clip Appendix Holsters.
After years of testing, we found that this is the type of holster that
works best for us. Our AIWB Holsters are made from a single sheet of
Kydex, most commonly called a "taco-style" holster. They have a single
clip design, which most believe will not be sufficient to hold and
balance a firearm. That is probably true for a lot of people who've
bought holsters from companies that just mount the clip wherever they
have room, but the clip placement is one of the most important factors
for weight distribution, concealment and integrity of the holster. Clip
placement may seem like an after-though on most holsters, but this is
one of our most thought-out components when making each custom order.

Something
to look for in any Appendix Holster: minimal material. You're going to
want the least amount of material to that you don't have any printing
issues. With Appendix Carry the two most common areas that print are the
grip and -mostly for women- the muzzle. The grip printing is easily fixed with a good holster.
On our Appendix Holsters, we have the option to add a wedge. The wedge
is an extra component added when molding the holster that tilts the belt
clip (or other attachment) in a way that reduces printing almost
completely. I say almost completely, because if you're wearing skint
tight clothing, you'll likely still print a bit. As for muzzle printing,
there's not much a holster can do to fix that issue. That is due to
several factors: low riding and tight pants and barrel/slide length and
thickness. You'll have more printing with a Glock 19 than you would with
a S&W Shield.

There
are also several other things you need to think about when carry-
ing in the AIWB position such as how your holster is going to sit. With our AIWB Holster
you can choose your own cant angle and ride height. This is perfect for
seasoned carriers who know exactly what works best for them, but can be
very intimidating to first time carriers. What we always recommend for
every firearm is an Appendix Holster with a mid ride height and straight draw. That is the most concealable for appendix carry.
Comfort also comes into play in this position. For the most comfortable
AIWB carry, you can get a high riding holster with a slight reverse
cant. This elevates the holster a bit so that there's no leg jabbing.
However, with every level of comfort you have, you lose a level of
concealability. I don't care what any other company says, you can rarely
have both.

If
you have a desk job where dress code requires a tucked in shirt, there
are a decent amount of options for you here. We offer a tuckable AIWB Holster, as well as a Tuckable Modular Appendix Rig.
Both allow the carrier to tuck their shirt in over their holstered gun.
This does slow your draw time, but having a gun is always better than
not having a gun.

The
final issue: the bulge. Obviously if you're carrying a holster on the
waistline, you should be wearing a belt. But how do you carry a single
clip Appendix Holster at 12 o'clock with a big belt buckle in the way?
Easy- a buckle-less belt. We carry our Modular Appendix
Rig Package that include our Appendix Holster and Magazine Carrier
Combo Rig as well as a dual layer, bullhide gun belt. The gunbelt has no
buckle, instead it has a strong Velcro layer to fasten it together and
keep the bulk to a minimum. This package works flawlessly together and
comes highly recommended.

To recap, here are the main points of carrying Appendix successfully:
-Wear clothing that fits, but is not tight.
-Wear a proper gunbelt, even better: one with no buckle!
-Make sure your holster has minimal material.
-Opt in for the wedge that tucks the grip into the body.
-Plan ahead of time: wear larger shirts if you're carrying a larger firearm.
-For comfort, wear higher riding pants.

About Me

Our products are hand crafted in the USA from .093" Boltaron/Kydex and molded to each firearm for a perfect fit. Like all of our products, the draw retention is completely adjustable. Using melonite finished hardened steel, our hardware may be the toughest in the business. Reaching a staggering 70pts on the rockwell scale, our product is impervious to rust. We are so confident our products will last a lifetime we are guarenteeing it with no questions asked. Thats right, we offer a lifetime NO B.S warranty! Boltaron and Kydex Both are an acrylic/PVC alloy that is durable, fire retardant, impact and chemical resistant. Boltaron and Kydex are uniquely suited as the primary building material of the most rugged of all action specialty gear. They are unmatched in the ability to provide a solid secure grip on your weapon while at the same time allowing a crisp, clean, break on the draw. The memory inherent materials allow your holster or sheath to retain its shape and grip -- draw after draw, year after year. Why not a leather or nylon holster? Unlike leather, Boltaron and Kydex will not decay, rot, dry out or absorb moisture. The acids in natural and treated leather if left in contact with your equipment will cause corrosion. Nylon is weak in its ability to retain your weapon without the use of cumbersome retaining straps. This material is many times more durable, withstanding punishment that over time would destroy even the best nylon or leather gear.
